Conceptual Difficulties:<strong>Wave</strong> or <strong>Particle</strong>Classical waves are continuous function of space <strong>and</strong>time, have polarizations, can produce interference <strong>and</strong>diffractions, <strong>and</strong> can be summed using thesuperposition principle. (e.g. Maxwell Equations forEM waves)Classical particles are discrete objects with definiteenergy <strong>and</strong> momentum, <strong>and</strong> satisfy Newton’s Law. (orTheory of Relativity)One OR the other, NEVER both!54
